8 Best Nightclubs & Nightlife Spots in Berlin | Condé Nast Traveler

"If you’ve ever heard anything about Berlin’s club scene, you’ve likely heard about Berghain. The imposing building, a former power plant, is the city’s most iconic club, and has been dubbed the “world capital of techno”—and its DJ lineup holds fast to that tradition to this day. If you’re going clubbing for the first time in Berlin, this is probably going to be your first hit: A night spent on its darkly industrial dance floors is practically a rite of passage. That being said, it’s notoriously hard to get into, but definitely not impossible: black clothing, creative—but not arrogant—style, and a nonchalant attitude in line will help you get past the notoriously strict doormen. Saule, which primarily plays experimental music; Lab.Oratory, an LGBTQ+ club, and Panorama Bar, which does more disco and funk, are located inside as well—so there’s truly something for everybody in here." - Krystin Arneson
